Chemistry Teaching Opportunities!

Chemistry Teaching Jobs

Southern Teachers Agency has quite a few chemistry and physical science job listings from schools for the 2013-14 academic year.  These jobs range from physical science at the middle-school level through high school AP Chemistry.  It is common for science teachers to teach more than one kind of science, so some of these positions will require a chemistry teacher to lead sections of biology, physics, or another science. Please consider forwarding this information to students you know who are interested in teaching.

STA is the oldest teacher-placement service in America.  We receive job listings from hundreds of PK-12 private schools around the South.  Schools come to STA because they recognize the value of STA’s help in recruiting & screening talented candidates. 

Certification is not required by private schools for many science teaching jobs.
